When making a HIVE or a hidden folder so all of the file that you virus creates can operate freely without being seen by the user, use this code shown down below: Mkdir (Path)\(Name Of directory) Attrib (Path)\(Name Of directory) +H +R EXAMPLE: ========= Mkdir C:\Users\%username%\Desktop\MyHIVE Attrib C:\Users\%username%\Desktop\MyHIVE +H +R NOTE: ======= The "+R" is optional and it makes the file read only so it can't be deleted or modified. The "+H" Obviously makes it hidden. In any case you want to make it viewable, just put "-H -R", like this: Attrib C:\Users\%username%\Desktop\MyHIVE -H -R
